Swansea University will be marking the global event Open Access Week 2015. This celebrates the power of openness to drive collaboration and advance research. Here’s how you can join in:

Sign up for the “5 Days of OA” daily mini-briefings to get yourself up to speed with Open Access: the open access movement has been gaining momentum in recent years with increasing numbers of funder mandates plus HEFCE’s new open access policy for the next REF. We will send you a short summary each day on what you need to know/do to ensure you comply with these new demands. Sign up here!

Tue 20th Oct, 1-2pm: attend the “Why publish open access?” Staff Development topic session: “A look at the benefits and issues of making your work openly available in this open access week. You are welcome to bring questions!” Room 271, DTS, Park Campus. Book via ABW.
